RECEPTACLE.

Specification of Letters latent. atented Dec. 7, i915,

' Application filed September 8, 1914. Serial No. 860,515.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, VVALTER E. HASKIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at ew ork city, in the county of Queens and- New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Receptacles, of which the following is a specification, reference-being had to the accompany ing drawing, forming a part thereof.

This invention relates to receptacles which I call dual seal receptacles and which are adapted to be used for any purpose for which receptacles are used,-and which are especially adapted to be used as shipping receptaclesand retainers for viscous and semiliquid substances such as paints, pastes, putty, etc.

The objects of the invention vide a simple, cheap, strong receptacle constructed as scribed and claimed. 4

eferring to the drawings which accon1- pany this specification and form a part hereof, which drawings illustrate an ear bodiment of this invention, and on which drawings the same rcfeence characters are are to proand servlceable hereinafter deused to designate the same parts wherever they may appear in the several views, Fig: ure 1 is a vertical section of a receptacle, the section being taken on the line 0-5; on Fig. 2 looking in the direction indicated by the arrows; and Fig. 2 is a horizontal-see tion of a receptacle, the section being taken on the line b--b on Fig. 1 looking in the direction indicated by the arrows.

Referring to the drawings, the reference numerals 1 and 2 designate two metal plates of suitable size to form the body of the receptacle. The drawings illustrate a cylinfor convenience of illustration asthe receptacle can be made of any suitable form required. Two plates will ordinarily be sutlicient for the strength and rigidity required but more plates can be used if extra strength and rigiditv are required. One plate is placed inside of the other and the joints 3 and t. at the edges of the plates are so disposed as to break joints. Preferably these joints are placed as far apart as possible so that they are about opposite each other, as clearly shown by Fig. 2 of the drawings. The plates are electrically spot-welded together by rows of spot welds 5, 6, 7 and 8 on both sides of the joints 3 and 4 and may be spot-welded together in as many other places as desirable. This constructionv provides a. fluid-tight receptacle for the purposes and uses intended without the necessity of making special fluid-tight oints or seams of the kind now used for the purpose. The two surfaces of the plates in contact prevent the fluid from creeping from one joint to another except in the case of a very volatile fluid with a great tendency to creep. The plates are preferably in as close contact as possible and the rows of spot welds 5, 6, 7 and 8 should extend the entire length, or height, of the receptacle and may be placed close together or separated some considerable distance depending on the liquidity of the substance to be placed in the receptacle. If a dry, or substantially dry, substance is to be placed in the receptacle the spot welds may be widely separated and just sufiicient in number to hold the plates together-with sufficient strength and rigidity for the purposes required. A top, or cover, 9 and a bottom 10 are provided and while both top and bottom may be removable it is preferred that the bottom be permanently fixed. It is preferred that the. interior of the receptacle be perfectly smooth so that the contents can be readily and cleanly removed so the inner plate is made straight and dash with the cover and bottom. Preferably, the outer plate 1 is effect at 11 and 12 to provide recesses 13 and 14 between the plates for the reception of the flanges 15 and 16 of the cover, or top, 9 and the bottom 10. Packing 17 and 18 may be placed in these recesses to be compressed by the flanges 15 and 16. The bottom 10 may be permanently secured to the plates 1 and 2 by a row of spot welds 19 and the cover, or top. may be secured in position by any suitable form of removable clamping and holding mechanism as, for example, by the clamp ring 20 provided with the flange 21 extending over the bent under the shoulder 23 formed by the offset 11 of plate 1.

In constructing-the receptacle the plates are bent to bring the edges approximately together to form joints, one plate is place inside of another with the joints out of alinement with each other to break joints, the plates are then both sides of the joints, the bottom is then placed in position and spot-Welded. all in a manner which will be readily understood.

What is claimed is:

In a receptacle, a body part composed cover 9 and the lip 22 spot-welded together on of a plurality of metal plates bent to bring their edges together to form joints, one plate being placed within the other and in contact therewith with the joints out of alinenient with each other, the plates being united by spot welds on both sides of the joints.

'2. A receptacle having a body part composed of a plurality of metal plates bent to bring their edges together to form joints, one plate beingplaced within the other and in contact therewith w th the joints out of alinement with each other, the plates being united by spot welds on both sides of the joints, the outer plate being offset from the inner plate at the bottom to form a recess,

and a bottom provided with a flange received within said recess and secured to the body part by spot welds through said plates and flange.

3. A receptacle having a body part coinposed of a plurality of metal plates bent to bring their edges together to form joints one plate being placed within the other ant in contact therewith with the joints out of. 'alinement with each other. the plates being united by spot welds on bothsides of the oints, the outer plate being offset from the inner plate at the top and bottom to form recesses. a bottom provided with a flange
